DACThe Digital Arts Clubwww.digitalartsclub.com
The Digital Arts Club (DAC) is an organization of students and faculty members who actively participate in the award-winning Multimedia Arts Program at Berkeley Community College. The organization provides a collegial atmosphere and encourages artistic diversity and expertise from its members.
Mission Statement
DAC’s mission is to: (1) support each other in learning and using cutting-edge digital technologies in fine-art production; (2) collaborate in mounting exhibits, community-based events and educational projects that are accessible to everyone; and (3) enhance our members’ professional awareness, visibility and capacities.
Core Values
• Collaboration within our group and between our members and the community
• Diversity of artistic expression with digital technologies
• Artistic Integrity
• Respect for traditional as well as digitally based visual arts and their histories
• Commitment to embracing a full range of cutting-edge digital-imaging technologies and to increasing the opportunities for the greater community to participate in and understand digital fine arts
Background Overview
The Multimedia Arts Program at Berkeley City College, (BCC), located in downtown Berkeley, CA, is among the leaders in the contemporary digital printmaking
movement in the United States. BCC’S curriculum is unique in that it provides access to industry-standard digital software and hardware, and provides expert instruction to any interested students at a minimal price.
Started by the nationally-recognized painter, digital print-maker and seasoned instructor, Joe Doyle, the BCC multimedia fine-art printmaking program has been in operation since 1996. Any student registered in the Multimedia Arts Program can have access to the latest MAC and Windows computers; state-of-the-art digital imaging and editing software from Adobe, Maxxon and others: Epson Stylus Pro printers for small- and large-scale printmaking: and archival quality digital printing papers, canvas, and inks.
When it became known that Joe Doyle had convinced BCC and the Peralta Community College District that Digital Art is indeed, the future of Art, news travelled quickly within the arts communities of the Bay Area —

and the multimedia student ranks began to swell. The student body (from which Digital Arts Club members are drawn) runs the gamut from entering freshmen to instructors from other schools who come to BCC to brush up on the latest techniques and information in this changing field. Ages range from 18 to 70. Almost anyone can attend, and the program is unique in having a student body with nearly three quarters of its members having previously earned college or post-graduate degrees.
Enthusiastic students conceived of an organization to build further on this professional-level training that had begun in the classroom. Formally launched in 2001, DAC offers its members the opportunity to exchange information, collaborate on projects, and exhibit their work in an effort to educate each other and the public about digital arts production and standards of excellence.
DAC members have organized, curated, and mounted numerous exhibits, lectures, and art festivals – both private and public – throughout California. Members also share information about competitions, such as juried art shows, and encourage each other to enter work in a wide range of venues. Members regularly mentor each other—and a regular flow of visitors and new Multimedia Program students—in areas such as methods and materials, marketing, digital technologies, as well as community outreach. And notably, DAC has recently expanded its range of exhibitions to include motion graphics, video, web art, animations, sound design, and other related disciplines. This is all part of the task of training professional artists and stewards of the future.
Contact
DAC is committed to continuing to develop exhibits, community-based events and educational projects that are widely accessible. Our members are also interested in increasing our visibility and sales.
